Despite the fact that it is still well within the cool Spring jacket weather here, I have been getting more into the warm weather food mood. I see warmer weather food as generally requiring little or no oven time, being lighter and including more salads. When those lighter meals include pan seared scallops in a maple syrup and miso sauce like this recipe that I encountered on Cook Eat Fret it is not hard to see why I wanted to make it right away. It does not take much to convince me to try a meal with both scallops and maple syrup and I always enjoy finding new ways to enjoy miso. This meal was super quick and easy to make requiring only a few minutes to pan sear the scallops, a few minutes to make the simple pan sauce and a few minutes to throw together a simple salad. I figured that serving the scallops on a salad would be nice as the extra maple and miso sauce would work as a dressing. The maple and miso sauce was really nice. I liked how the salty miso worked with the sweet maple syrup and how the tangy vinegar balanced everything out. What a great way to enjoy both maple syrup and miso!

Maple and Miso Scallops

Directions:1. Season the scallops with salt and pepper.2. Heat the oil in a pan.3. Add the scallops and caramelize on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, and set aside.4. Add the vinegar, maple and miso to the pan and reduce to a sauce.5. Add the scallops back to the pan and toss to coat.

Don't tell me about the awful Spring this year... I'm south of the border and I thought the weather would be nicer here... And it has been raining since a week or so! But I'm sure this recipe could cheer me up!

Because of you, I'm still wanting to buy myself a big old jug of maple syrup. :) How can I be Canadian, and yet have never bought any Maple syrup?? Sheesh! And now you add scallops to that mix...another "want to try, but haven't" cases. Looks fantastic, Kevin!

I love maple + miso on anything! I even put it in my stirfrys! I actually have never tried it on scallops, this makes perfect sense, they would go together so well!Thanks for sharing this great recipe, I'll make it soon since spring finally decided to come around to Calgary :)
